The difference is less than those who exercise v not, slightly larger than that between men and women. For 50x chance in income. Money simply isn't as big a differentiator in life as you desperately want it to be. And that's the tiny bit of common sense required.

> Money simply isn't as big a differentiator
It seems by your standards nothing is. Yet if you add it all together instead of looking at a single indicator money is inarguably (if you have any arguments or data please share them) statistically the biggest differentiator compared to anything else besides congenital diseases and other health conditions we can't treat yet.

Well having more than a "tiny bit" of common sense would made it obvious than it's not the case.
> For 50x chance in income.
Directly comparing wealth/income ratios and absolute differences in life expectancy or other indicator just makes no sense and claiming that it somehow proves something. Having only a tiny bit of knowledge about statistics would make that obvious.
